Relationship Details

This document appears to be a page from a manuscript (likely a memoir by Alan Dershowitz, given the context of the collection) discussing the separation of religious marriage and secular civil unions. The author recounts writing an op-ed on the subject which led to a phone call from then-Governor Mitt Romney, who asked the author to draft legislation on the matter. The author notes that Romney never responded to the draft because he launched his presidential campaign and likely feared backlash from the religious right.
